Don't want to sell Sadie ('83 300D), but ... - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Divorce final, out of work 14 months, finally found a job and its in Oklahoma. Car has been sitting in the driveway for about two years. When parked, needed glow plugs to run, brakes and exhaust to pass inspection. Air never worked (after I bought it used in Virginia) and the heater blower was croaking. ... I replaced the 1983 engine with a 1985 that had about 144K miles at the time. Engine probably has 185K or so now, but that's a guess.

Though faded, she isn't completely rusted or anything. And though full of junk in the interior (an old school backpack, a printer in a box, etc.) and the trunk, she's restorable. Or would be GREAT for parts.

Parked in the country near Henderson, NC. I would like to move her to Oklahoma, but that might just not be an option. And I do need money.

Photos in my gallery here, but they were when I bought this car five years ago. She ain't that pretty now. Still, the thistle green clearcoat with green interior isn't all that common a combo.

She's worth saving. Anyone interested at $500?

I e-mailed him and he responded, still waiting on pics. Until this add he had not posted here since 08 or so, presumably when Sadie died, so he might not be in often. FWIW I'm still interested depending on much of a toll the last few years have taken.
